Crypto App using SwiftUI
In my recent day-to-day work, I don't come into much contact with writing vanilla iOS apps directly. Despite being quite knowledgable in mobile app development, and the Swift programming language, I don't use these skills often. For this reason, I often in spare time (such as waiting at airports) write small apps, and review tutorials for using the latest advancements in programming languages like Swift, and the associated tooling like Xcode.

Pure Swift Instagram Queue App for iOS
Sometimes it's nice to branch of into new technologies to keep perspective and knowledge of relevant stacks. This is my adventure into pure the pure iOS world with a simple Swift iPhone app. The app handles the basics, but should handle them well. Connecting to a HTTPS pinned API, download a data in JSON, cache it locally. Then parse it and use it to display data within the app.In this case, the app is a list of photos I have taken that I have uploaded to my website, but have yet to share on Instagram.

Fashion Retailer iOS App + Backend
Stared this project from using the same code base developed for ASOS China in Spring 2016 for a London based agency on behalf of their client Oasis Stores, a ladies fashion wear, which also had physical stores in the UK. This project was designed to utilise existing development for a fast turn around, but had new functionality such as in-store stock, reserve online, and collect in store. This Cordova powered runs iOS devices.This project was more of an exercise in re-usability of a codebase than developing new tech. While there were some new features, this is essentially a rebranding of an existing app, and repurposing while retaining existing features. The backend for this was a NodeJS HAPI API which worked as an interim layer between the customers iPhone and the stores backend, which in this case, was Demandware. Read more...
ASOS中国 - Hybrid iOS and Android eCommerce App
Stared this project from scratch in Spring 2015 for a London based agency on behalf of their client ASOS China. Following a similar design to the UK iOS app, this Cordova powered runs on both Android and iOS devices, in both orientations, on both mobile and tablet.Making pure JavaScript single page applications is one thing, with it's own set of complexities and challenges; but doing the equivalent for a JavaScript app that will function only in a mobile environment brings with it an entire new set of challenges. These are specifically related to the user interface. The app still has to retain the gesture recognition and actions found in native applications, and perform will full buttery smooth animations expected from real applications. Read more...

Using a C# API to generate Passbook passes for the Passbook app on iPhones using iOS. The system can then track each users subscription, and send updates in realtime to each device via the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). Read more...
